North America gets its hands on the Halo RTS in early March; Europe and the other PAL regions in late February...
Microsoft Games Studios has today confirmed that Halo Wars, the final game from the now defunct outfit Ensemble Studios, will arrive across North America from March 3rd 2009. In a surprising move however, the publisher has announced that gamers in the EMEA regions (that's Europe, Oceania, and the Middle East) will be taking the fight to The Covenant a few days earlier, on February 27th.
The game, set two decades before the events of Bungie's record-breaking franchise, is the latest attempt to bring the Real-Time Strategy genre to consoles, following the likes of Ubisoft's EndWar, SEGA's Universe at War, and Command & Conquer 3 from Electronic Arts.
Halo Wars will be released in both Standard and Collectors Editions, whilst gamers who pre-order the title will also receive an exclusive in-game, flame-decaled Warthog.

Thanks for a really insightful review, it was spot on. Ive really enjoyed this game so far, been a player of RTS for a few years. I think if you treat this game as a fun RTS to play with your mates over a couple of beers etc perfect.

I just got it and HATE it! I hope I can get my money back. It didn't climb the mountain for me. Can stress enough how disappointed I was. It doesn't even deserve to have the word HALO on the box.

If you want to select a single unit, just press 'A' on that unit. Otherwise, RB and LB selects all local or global units.
Hope this helps Gaz.

being a huge fan of c&c games there was a few things i didnt like about the halo wars demo..like how you can only have 30 units on screen at once(could just be in the demo and not full game) and when you try to move a unit or tank past another unit it gets blocked and you have to move the other units out the way to clear the path..(in c&c the other units automatically moved out the way) and also how you cant pick individual units and move them one at a time. as far as i could see it only lets you move the whole army at once or all the units on screen at once..(correct me if im wrong on that one)..did anyone find the same things when they played it?? i'll still get the game as i think the full game will have ways round the issues i had with the demo ..
